AU Payroll - Ability to apply work patterns to part time employees

Suggest the ability to apply work patterns to part time employees. For example, we have a part time employee who works 7 hours on Mon, 6 hours on Tues and 6 hours on Wed.
At the moment, if a Public Holiday falls on a Monday, it does not correctly work out hours worked.
The same happens if Annual Leave is taken; incorrect hours are calculated which affects AL accruals.
Hours worked have to be calculated and added manually.

    This feature would be so handy for our part time employees for the reasons already mentioned.

  • Nancy Ibrahim commented  ·   ·  Report

    this feature should be added for part time employees, XERO Australia.

  • Cathy Wicks commented  ·   ·  Report

    Very Disappointing this feature is not available in Australia

  • Emma Petrig commented  ·   ·  Report

    Xero needs to keep up with the various payroll obligations employees face.

  • Giovanna D'Rozario commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can't believe this option is available overseas but not here!

    This is a business critical feature we need otherwise we will need to go with another payroll solution

  • Warrick Dunn commented  ·   ·  Report

    Should be a basic feature of all accounting software. Its actually such a but pain every single payroll!

  • Karyn Muscat commented  ·   ·  Report

    I actually can't believe that this isn't an option. I thought I must have been doing something wrong as I thought this would be just a basic function. Xero really needs to get this implemented...

  • Sarah Locke commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is really more than critical. This flexibility should be in a payroll system especially now that work conditions have become more flexible. I hope this can be done asap.

    A hassle for me every time there's a public holiday or annual leave. The system assumes part-timers work reduced hours across 5 days, rather than allowing for the actual days worked. Along with all the other limitations of Xero payroll, I would suggest they integrate a 3rd-party solution (as Quickbooks did with Keypay) and spend their very limited development dollars on fixing the multitude of other ****-ups that we've been waiting years for.

    This function is essential for a flexible workplace with staff working a variety of work patterns, not just the part-time staff. This feature is available in other countries - PLEASE make it available to Australian subscribers!

  • Daniel Frinsko commented  ·   ·  Report

    We currently have an employee asking about this; it's definitely a necessary feature to correctly account for employee leave and hours worked. Surprised that Xero does not allow for this.

  • Tiarna Nouwland commented  ·   ·  Report

    Absolutely a critical function for ensuring leave taken and public holidays are correctly processed and paid.

  • Nicolas Horton commented  ·   ·  Report

    This should also be possible for full time employees. I have 2 full time employees who work longer on a few days of the week and shorter the other days. But agree this is a critical function.

  • Dawn Austin commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm pretty shocked that Xero does not have the fundamental functionality, especially considering how long Xero has been around for now. It should simply be something you enter in the Employees Pay Template. Come on Xero do better.

  • Becca Fourie commented  ·   ·  Report

    so much manual intervention required for correct payroll calculations. this is needed ASAP

  • Tracy Newfield commented  ·   ·  Report

    Such a basic feature. Needed for EVERY part time employee to calculate leave and public holiday pay correctly. Needed urgently.

  • Michelle Hill commented  ·   ·  Report

    Thanks @Tara Broderick. I'm the founder of a startup, we can't afford 2 systems, As soon as I have time, I'll look into a system with better payroll function (that accommodates pay pattern).
